Alex RossSo today was my schools walk out, and I wanted to peacefully protest in my own way. Some people who decided to walk out for stricter gun laws were pretty harshly criticizing strong supporters of the Second Amendment, such as my friends and I. So I presented them with this flag, when people were walking out of the doors. To make my point more clear, less guns and more extreme gun control is not the answer, example: there was probably 15+ armed Police officer‘s in the building during this event, to make sure nothing went wrong and everyone was safe, this was probably the safest day of the year for my school. If there were even three armed people here at all time it would be a much safer place. The only people that a “gun free zone” would keep out is law abiding citizens. It is worth noting that my schools administration was very “alright” with my unannounced stunt and let me keep the flag up for the remainder of the walk out and said I had a right to speak for myself too. So a big thank you to my principal and vice principal.

New NRA Video: Wayne LaPierre | We Will Never WaverNRA Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer Wayne LaPierre vows that when it comes to the Second Amendment and the due process principles upon which our nation stands, the National Rifle Association will never, ever waver. The NRA will stand clearly and proudly for the absolute protection of the entire bill of rights, LaPierre promises, and will reject any proposal that fails to respect the ultimate authority of every law-abiding American's individual freedom.The NRA chief also calls for the tens of millions of law-abiding, freedom-loving patriots to stand up and strengthen the NRA's voice at this time of great need. Now is the time, says LaPierre, for all of us to join together in defense of the principles that make America the greatest nation on earth.

They're going after bumpstocks but they weren't used in ANYTHING other than the Las Vegas attack. They talked a little about them then but they didn't push for that until after this latest attack. Used in one terror attack, so something legally owned by tens of thousands of Americans has to be banned? Why bumpstocks?

They're talking about age 21 for guns, but almost all of these killers are 21+ yearsNewtown: 21. Sutherland Spring: 26. We still hardly know anything about the Vegas attack but the guy that they said did it: 64! Pulse attacker: 29. Charelston church: 23. The two muslims that shot up the Christmas party (in CALIFORNIA): 27 and 28. Fort Hood: 47. Why age 21?

Children died at Sandy Hook. How many of those chicago murders were minors? Why sudden push to put kids on TV with millions in donations and help from social sites and news?

Believe it or not, could only find a news article from BBC about this.

Florida House passes a gun control bill that has already passed the Florida Senate. If the Governor signs it, the age to buy any firearm will be raised to 21, adds a mandatory 3 day wait period on all firearm purchases and bans bump stocks. It also provides a path for classroom teachers with certain training to be able to carry a firearm in school and increases mental health spending.

According to this article, it is not a sure thing that the Governor will sign it.

I’m curious as to how this would have prevented the Orlando shooting? Or even the Parkland shooting. Sure the shooter here was 19, but does anyone really think he would have said oh no, can’t get a rifle, guess I don’t want to kill these people anymore?
